Columbia<\/a> and Brown agreed to pay hefty fines and make sweeping campus changes in exchange for the restoration of research money that was also canceled over Trump antisemitism allegations. Harvard too is negotiating with the government over similar charges.<\/p>\n\u201cWe\u2019re not Brown, we\u2019re not Columbia, and I\u2019m not going to be governor if we act like that,\u201d Newsom said, referring to settlements the universities announced last month. \u201cPeriod. Full stop, I will fight like hell to make sure that doesn\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
The university system, run by its president and Board of Regents, is independent under the state Constitution. But the governor can exercise political sway over the regents, whose members he appoints. Newsom also holds an ex-officio seat on the board.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s principles. There\u2019s right and wrong, and we\u2019ll do the right thing. This is about our competitiveness. It\u2019s about the fate and future of this country. It\u2019s about our sovereignty,\u201d Newsom said Thursday. \u201cIt\u2019s about so much more than the temperament of an aggrieved individual who happens to currently be president of the United States.\u201d <\/p>\n
The proposal was first reported by CNN.<\/p>\n
